State slashes American Suburban’s 69% sewer rate increase request

IURC agrees to 12.6%, or $7 a bill, rather than $40 more for the small utility just outside West Lafayette. Customers: It should have been zero.

Customers of American Suburban Utilities on the fringes of West Lafayette will see a sewer rate increase soon.

But it won’t be what American Suburban owner Scott Lods had asked for. Not even close.
